Bill does Britain Again! - The original Bill does Britain show has been retired, hence the Again! Travelling widely in the UK visiting many locations, including the Scottish islands of Orkney, Islay and the Outer Hebrides as well as many others. Corncrake, Short-eared Owls, Bitterns, Marsh Harriers and much more besides.

The Shetland Isles - Shetland is one of the UKs most spectacular locations for wildlife and this show is the result of a month spent on the islands photographing the birds and other wildlife, as well as the landscape of this most northern part of Britain. The show features many of the familiar British waders and seabirds in incredible action as they go about their business of rearing young in a British summer.Sample Pictures
